Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt recounts 2010 Gaddafi medical visit
In the upcoming Sky documentary ‘Müller-Wohlfahrt - Der Arzt der Champions’, releasing October 23, renowned physician Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt recounts a high-stakes medical request from 2010.
Müller-Wohlfahrt describes being contacted by the Libyan health minister regarding Muammar al-Gaddafi, who was reportedly suffering from severe pain, such as sciatica, during the Arab Summit in Sirte. Although initially hesitant, the doctor proceeded with the visit after receiving approval from the German government, which aimed to strengthen economic ties with Libya.
The physician details a tense arrival at the military airport in Sirte, where he was subjected to strict security measures, including being surrounded by machine guns and monitored in a camera-controlled room.
